Phoenix, AZ (December 6, 2019) – On Friday evening, a multi-car collision occurred in the left lanes of Interstate 17, blocking traffic and resulting in at least one serious injury.
Local police officials reported that multiple sedans collided in the left lanes of northbound I-17 just after Dunlap Avenue. Authorities were at the scene to assist injured victims and investigate the cause of the wreck, which occurred around 6:00 p.m. Witnesses say that one of the sedans rear-ended one other vehicle and caused a chain-reaction accident.
